Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Gossip of Your Magic Beast World is Truly Colorful
"Ouch." Qian Qi was hit and immediately pouted with a wronged expression, "You actually hit me because of her! You heartless system! Scumbag system!"
[What on earth are you always thinking about?] The system was speechless, [She died long ago, how could she come out and confront you in court?]
"You’re talking nonsense," Qian Qi said tearfully, pointing accusingly, "Wasn’t it her who controlled my body when I lost my memory!"
[No...] The system explained helplessly, [You just lost your memory because your spiritual power was too weak.]
Oh?
Qian Qi pulled out a layer of tissue from his shorts pocket and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Keep talking, I’m willing to listen to your sophistry."
He added another line, "Only I would be willing to give you a chance to sophisticate, if it were someone else, they would’ve thrown you into a cesspool already, hmph!"
System: ...
Maybe it should just flatten her with a panel.
[There are some things you don’t need to know, just know that although she’s gone, her spiritual power remains and can be used by you.]
"Then why did I lose my memory?"
[Her spiritual power level is extraordinary, no mere D-level like you can control it, so there were some side effects, and your memory got sealed.]
Qian Qi: ...
I get it, you said a lot and it just means I lost my memory because I’m too weak, right?
Qian Qi rubbed his chin and looked at the system, "How am I supposed to trust you?"
[Oh~ my dear Qian Qi~] the system smiled, [We’re going to be together for decades, let’s give each other a little more trust, hmm? ^_^]
Qian Qi: ...
Looks like from now on, she has to avoid saying stupid things in front of the system to prevent it from learning and eventually using it against her.
"You said her spiritual power can be used by me, then how do I use it?" Qian Qi calculated secretly, if it’s B-level spiritual power, she could enter a C-level dungeon and hunt C-level magical beasts.
I’ve heard that C-level magical beast corpses are quite valuable, didn’t IKD’s chairman Sheng Qiang rely on C-level magical beast corpses to support the huge IKD group?
If she could hunt a few, wouldn’t her sweet, honey-pot-like retirement be even more enjoyable?
System: [When your spirit collapses, it’ll be the moment it shows its killer intent.]
Qian Qi widened her eyes, "You mean, if I use that spiritual power, I’ll lose my memory again?"
[Yes~ ^v^]
Qian Qi: ...
Great, wasted effort.
She didn’t want to hand over her life to another version of herself, if she slips up, it’s her own fault!
Oh well, people should do whatever they are capable of, she should obediently stay in the D-level dungeon and progress step by step.
"By the way, Tongzi, since her spiritual power is B-level and above, obviously much stronger than mine, why did you bind yourself to a mere D-level me?"
The system paused, [This... you don’t need to know for now.]
Qian Qi’s eyes flickered.
The system didn’t answer because it indicated she could make more money, meaning the answer to that question wasn’t about money, but something else.
That’s interesting, what could be the reason for the system to abandon "Qian Qi" and instead choose the her from the Otherworld?
The little eyeballs revolved a few times, and Qian Qi secretly asked again, "So what exactly is her spiritual power level~ is it convenient to disclose it~"
[It’s not convenient, hurry up and move your turtle shell!] The system slapped her on the back of the head again, [The total assets are just one million, and you’re still lazy here?]
"Ying~ be gentle!" Qian Qi rubbed the back of her head, silently got up from the ground, and met Moyu’s curious gaze.
"Contractor, who were you talking to?"
Qian Qi: "... I was talking to your big brother, come, say hello to your big brother."
Moyu blinked his eyes, then bent over towards the invisible system in the air, "Hello, big brother."
System: ...
Ahem, why does it feel inexplicably good?
"Contractor, what kind of magical beast is the big brother?" Moyu was very curious about who the first magical beast Qian Qi contracted was.
"It’s a Greedy Beast, the kind that can go invisible. If one day your shiny things are missing, it’s definitely your big brother who stole them."
[??? Hey, don’t slander me! It’s obviously you who wants to steal!]
"Big brother also likes shiny things? Then why doesn’t it find them itself?"
"Because your big brother has no hands, and no mouth."
"Wow, big brother is so pitiful..."
[... Enough, you two, do you believe I’ll smack you!!!]
The three - a person, a system, and Moyu, walked down the path they came from, and compared to the bloody and brutal scene behind them, they chatted and laughed quietly, and the smiles on their faces were warm and comforting.
And what happened here will all be buried in the wind, waiting for the moment when the dust settles to unveil those unknown truths one by one.
——
To prevent the shiny things from being discovered, Qian Qi specially chopped a few trees and put them into the turtle shell to cover up the shiny things underneath.
After recovering her strength, she then dragged the turtle shell to find Liang Yongjie and the others.
The place where Amphibian Demon Snakes once swarmed was now just a pile of fleshy corpses, and the snakes had long burrowed back into the ground and tree trunks. Moyu mentioned that the Amphibian Demon Snakes mainly relied on numbers to win; although they are D-level magical beasts, their speed, defense power, and attack power are all inferior. If singled out, they are even inferior to E-level magical beasts.
"Then how can they even be considered D-level?" Qian Qi was puzzled.
Moyu chuckled wickedly, "Because in certain areas their skills completely surpass D-level, so they reproduce very quickly."
Qian Qi: ...
Wow, the gossip in your Magic Beast World is truly colorful!
Rubbing her chin, something hit her, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Tongzi, if an ordinary person contracts with an Amphibian Demon Snake, would the skill they acquire be..."
Like Moyu, she raised her eyebrows roguishly, "You know what I mean~"
System: ...
Why would you think of it on that level! You freak!
Two seconds later, Qian Qi, holding her now swollen head, furiously set out to find Liang Yongjun and the others.
Darn, why did the stupid system hit her again! Doesn’t it know in her original world, certain brothers are always at the top of some cat’s pharmaceutical sales rankings, making a lot of money, did it know that!
No! You don’t know! Because all you can do is smash people’s skulls!
Qian Qi begrudgingly walked toward the dungeon entrance, and as she expected, Liang Yongjie and others were all resting and reorganizing at the entrance, and Liang Yongjie kept pacing around the area, occasionally looking off into the distance, as if waiting for something.
Qian Qi waved her hand.
At first, Liang Yongjie was unsure. He rubbed his eyes to confirm he wasn’t seeing things, that the person waving at him from a distance with a turtle shell was indeed Qian Qi.
Liang Yongjie immediately turned and shouted to Liang Yongjun and the others, "It’s Little Qian! He’s back!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining people immediately stood up from the ground and looked in the direction Liang Yongjie pointed. Sure enough, Qian Qi still wore those large sunglasses, moving forward with a turtle shell full of confidence and vigor, and on her shoulder was Moyu, standing tall and strikingly.
Liang Yongjie and Liang Yongjun ran over immediately, excitedly saying, "Little Qian! You really managed to escape!"
After they and Qian Qi fled in separate directions, although the Demon Snakes pursued them, they weren’t too hard to deal with, especially since some flying magical beasts came out later to handle the snakes, giving the exhausted them a breather and thereby escaping to the dungeon entrance.
Oh right, those flying magical beasts looked exactly like the Moyu on Qian Qi’s shoulder!
Huh? Could it be...
